West: Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Long Beach, Oakland, Portland, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, Santa Ana, Seattle, Vancouver. Please select another destination"
This of course harks back to the "old" cities rather than states rule - but nonetheless it is still saying (at least for online bookings) that SJU is subject to the restrictions.
I would say it is unrelated then. The system simply hasn't been updated. You can always do LAX-ORD/DFW-SJU-ORD/DFW-LAX, before or now.
